Finally!

I finally managed to upload some photos of my parents' weekend visit here. I've been trying for days but the Internet has been too slow (these Vietnamese love their online games slowing down the I-net café servers even more). I also used my journalistic discretion (!) in deciding not to post the photos from the evening at The Arena during the World Cup quarter-final between England and Portugal as well as pics of the Dean of the Faculty of Arts being caught with his pants down at Ben Thanh Market - who says I didn't learn anything in my Media Ethics module? By the way, if you know anyone who works for Die Son who might be interested in the photos drop me an email and I'd be happy to negotiate...

We had cockatils on the 23rd floor of the Sheraton with Lucille, Andrew and Erika (my brother's girlfriend, and South African friends who work here - respectively).

My mom and Christoff at Go2 in Pham Ngu Lao.

We had dinner one night at this awesome Vietnamese restaurant called Quan An Ngon (it means "Something Delicious").

We went for Sunday lunch at Binh Quoi, this toursity resort on the Saigon River.

We had ice-cream at Fanny's - "Where all our ice-creams are made from your dreams".

My dad really wanted to go haggle/barter at Ben Thanh Market (I think he just liked all the attention).

What nice pictures, looks like you had loads of fun with your folks bru. Although I reckon you airbrushed christoff into those foties. My theory is that the two of you were exploring those tunnels and he fell into a hole, you havent found him yet have you? Nail on the head. hehe. I cant believe the world cup is over, so much hype and just like that...poof!...gone. At least theres still loads of crazy shit going down, like juve and co. being relegated! Lance Armstrong calling the French team a bunch of assholes and shit! Makes for entertaining reading. So yeah, welcome back to all the lady blog visitors, me n henno have missed you, i think. Although i'm sure you peeked in skelmpies and checked up on things while the WC was on. Ne! Nail on the head.

About Me

From the winelands and grey-blue mountains of the Western Cape, to the frenetic buzz of Saigon, moving to live under the endless blue skies and red dust of Australia, and back to Saigon. Follow me on this journey as my mind wanders, my eyes explore and my fingers record.
